Microsoft clarified to IGN saying the reported Kinect sales are sold-through to customers.

Wish IGN would have also asked if this was NA only or NA and EMEAA.

Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

This is actually emabarrasing for some of the members on this site. I've seen people try and spin but this just falls into the crazy category. We all know this is a site with a more pro-sony and anti-ms community, but lets not take it to the next level where nothing can be accepted as fact unless it's positive for sony and negative for MS.

Ms did a great job with hyping kinect and now they are being rewarded and VG chartz is too, by accuratley putting together solid numbers before the offical ones were released. When our own community tries to discredit those numbers, it affects the people that we support (ioi, source and of course others), they deserve our respect and so do the numbers they work hard to put together.

This post is straight Frosted Flakes!

Please don't act like this is a Sony fan problem, people have been denying the Move sales numbers and the PS3's weekly sales for the last few weeks and I didn't see any of the people in here claiming 'VGChartz Loyalty!' putting down those naysayers. This is strictly a MS vs Sony thing for you guys, you'll only defend or deny anything that involves your preferred company.

OT: This thread is stupid, everyone's pointed out how you were wrong and the forum is now worse for it. People have got to think before making threads they know might attract negative attention.

He took a stand for the efforts of the VGC staffers and I support that. They're not perfect, but its amazing how close they come with their sales analysis. Lately too many here have jumped on them when it wasn't as favorable for their console of choice, but the reactions to Kinect sales being less than their analysis by a bit has been mostly Sony fanboys celebrating and jumping on the staff for overtracking. There is no way anyone that supports this community and appreciates the efforts of the staff here should stand for that kind of behavior.

When Sony stated that they "sold" 2.5m of Move related hardware all the sony fanboys were like "2.5 m of unique users !!" but when M$ states clear that they sold at lest 1 m to consumers the same people are like "OMFG such a liars !!".

:p

No... SONY fans said it was undertracked because it was 2.5M shipped and production ramped up twice with nothing but positive comments from SONY yet VGC had only around 700K sold.

OT: For the past 2 or 3 years that I've been here one thing has always been stretched like crazy to all that question the figures stated by video game companies: THEY ALWAYS REPORT SHIPPED. Interesting how that changes now but what ever...
